The Temptations

Vienna, VA - The Temptations hit the Wolf Trap stage for an evening of classic Motown hits from the ’60s and ’70s. Together since 1960, when the Primes and the Distants merged to become the Temptations, the band has had four No. 1 hits, including “My Girl” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.” Their debut album, Meet the Temptations, was dubbed one of the Top 100 Pop Albums of the year in 1964. Though they took a brief break in the ’70s, the band came back strong in 1981 with the hit “Power.” With four Grammy wins, the Temptations have produced hit tunes for over 50 years, and have tailored their songs to satisfy the musical palates of all generations.

The Four Tops

Together since high school, The Four Tops released their self-titled debut album in 1964, creating hit after hit for the next half century. 1964 proved to be a pivotal year for the band, when “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “I Can’t Help Myself,” and “Reach Out, I’ll Be There” all became smash hits. The Four Tops continued into the ’70s with more hit singles, and finally hit No. 1 with “When She Was My Girl” in 1981. The band retained its original members for 40 years, and in 1990 was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
